Brevity: To Say At Once Whatever Is

To See Every Day How People Get The Name 'genius' Just As The Wood-lice In The Cellar The Name 'millipede'-not Because They Have That Many Feet, But Because Most People Don't Want To Count To 14-this Has Had The Result That I Don't Believe Anyone Any More Without Checking.

You Can Make A Good Living From Soothsaying But Not From Truthsaying.
